One of my favorite places. I had my birthday here 5 years in a row and stopped at 15. I’m now 44.
RIP to the little boy
My grandmother wanted me to go there, never had the time to though mainly because i always work late, but for my 22nd birthday that is were im going
Not child proof that is! RIP Little one
Its not a company’s fault you can’t pay attention to your child at a restaurant. You either walk them to the bathroom or you make sure they stay seated. Its not a playground it’s a restaurant.
KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR KIDS POEPLE!

Is this restaurant seriously closing because of those irresponsible parents? I am a bit sickend to be honest. This city should fight to keep it open, they shouldn't pay that price for the terrible mistake by the childs parents.
That being said, what a fucking COMPLETE engineering failure. I mean, how to you not take crushing into account when there is a rotating platform involved. It's happened many times before, I'm amazed these idiots didn't think that scenario through. Half-witted architects... Very tragic

Most people know to stay away from the edge of the rotation assembly, just Luke most people know to stay away from an intersection or to stay away from fire. Its no different that other obvious dangers. But kids don't know that, its the parents job to keep them away from hazards. You can blame a side walk not having a fence up because a child runs into the road. It is always the parent fault.
Derogatory Name Most people, but not little children. I understand your point, and the parents PROBABLY do not deserve parents of the year award, but it isn't hard for me to imagine my 5 year old curious self exploring a massive rotating mechanism. But when you design something that is completely accessible for kids (or adults) to be potentially crushed, I gotta say that's fairly bone-headed. The FIRST thing you should take into account when building something like this is guest safety. Common sense or not, when building something like that, you ALWAYS take into account the safety of the participants first, and any possible hazard or dangerous scenario. Always anticipate the worst. It's incredibly standard Risk Management protocol. Therefore, this is a complete and utter failure of the architects of the restaurant. Regrettable design indeed.
I think of escalators, elevators, and roller-coasters when I think of this (all of which have over time succeeded in ensuring the safety of guests). Sidewalks and intersections don't really have any comparison with what this is, for a sidewalk is not a mechanical rotating piece of ground, and intersections only present the danger of other people when not paying attention.
The restaurant is shittily designed, period, there where a number of design choices that would've made this impossible to happen, things like a larger margin of non rotating floor near the edge, or even something as simple as having lighter tables. Even from a different perspective it is the design firm's responsibility to remove liabilities to their clients, this is a complete failure to do that.
An inner glass that rotates with the seating preventing anyone from touching the outer glass wall and supports would have easily prevented this tradgedy. It would have added about 350 to 600 grand to the design and building cost of the restaurant.
Wow you’re right
I'm 40 years old and i guarantee, had i been there, i would have been the one getting stuck
between the rotating panel.
I'm always that guy!
Nah, I'd call myself retarded if that happened. I actually do now.
so the kid got stuck behind the table's edge which meets the wall as it rotates?
ive never been to this resto. trying to picture how it happened
Seems like that's what happened. If so, then they could have made the windows flush with the pillars, so there would be no space get crushed in.
How much to reserve all 3 floors?
hastyberford much.
Just because a kid wasn't at his table doesn't mean he was out of control.
Elmo - Talvy exactly!
Wait, why did they design it to have an internal rotating platform instead of just having the whole thing rotate around a central hub. That was moderately dumb. Also, were the tables bolted down?? Crazy heavy? Why? I don't put a lot of blame on the restaurant, really more on the architects, but all I can really really think is how slowly that's rotating and no one noticed that that kid was about to be crushed for HOW LONG?
it was built in the 70s. how many people have been injured, or killed in the past 40+ years of its existence?

I’m here now and it doesn’t spin anymore because a little kid got killed somehow by it
I genuinely cannot imagine hearing that poor little boy's skull crack. Imagine being his parent.
all those seats and a space for five year old kid play area
let's play tag with the killer doors
Nothing is child-proof and before prople start ranting about keeping an eye on your kids - no parent is perfect and neither is any man-made design.
Tragic? Yes. Evitable? Maybe. Anything other than terrible luck? Absolutely not.
Victim blame much?
If the child's head was crushed between the table and the pillar, then they could have made the windows flush with the pillars, so there would be no space get crushed in. To pretend that there is no child proofing is ridiculous. Imaging the roof of a tall building. You could have walls too high to climb or not. That's a safety measure that works. It's demonstrable.
The parents aren't victims????? What kind of world do you live in?
amanda baranou well anyone with a brain and heart is not! anyone who is, obviously have issues. why so much ripping on a precious little boy?
No matter where you are the FIRST THING IS CHILD SAFETY. WE CAN'T BE CARRIED AWAY THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE OUR CHILDREN ARE. REMEMBER IF WE HAVE A LITTLE ONE AT HOME THAT LIKES TO GET INTO THINGS. WHEN GOING OUT KEEP A EYE ON OR GET AN ATTACHMENT FOR THAT CHILD. NO PLACE IS REALLY CHILD PROTECTION WERE THE PROTECTION.
Reminds me of a zoo that designed its gorilla enclosure so that a small child could fit underneath the railing and then drop down into the enclosure. Afterward half the people wanted to blame the parents.
1 kid out of the 5 million that had been there. Yes it was the parents fault.
Welp after what happened it's not as impressive anymore. I don't get the rotating part… You don't get to see anything properly because it goes out of your vision. And it kills kids too.
It goes really slow. I guess you haven't been there. It is a great place.
